Mars Toys Cara Dune 1/6 Figure

AricJorn said:

Easy pass. It's nothing political for me (I didn't follow all the drama when it was going on and know little of the controversy surrounding her), I just never really connected with this character and there are SO many figures I'd rather have to bother with this one. I'm happy for those who want her though - HT will never make one, so now's your chance

Yeah it’s great for those who want her. I’m kind of in the same boat as you, I didn’t really like her character or acting that much, yet appreciate she was a key character of the first two magical seasons. And the level of acting in the last several D+ shows hasn’t been much better tbf, so not sure that’s an issue for me anymore. 3 months ago I’d have been excited for this, now after season 3 some of that good will towards The Mandalorian has worn off. Just can’t get excited for Mando releases atm.

For me the big question is if they CAN sneak this past the Mouse, could it open up the possibility of a Slave Leia?

Possibly - but Disney will insist that HT change her name to "Starship Leia"

I'm interested to see a fully painted portrait.

She has a “real woman’s” body. I’d be Uber surprised if they nailed it, but I don’t have much faith unfortunately. I really liked this character, was sad to see her so unceremoniously dismissed for saying something objectively dumb, and was hoping HT would have done her and Greef. Both figures would have been epic, but maybe not big sellers in HK.

Luvd her. IMO like Hemsworth's Thor her acting was improving by leaps and bounds and she IMO always had a sort of fresh quality about her, probably coz she genuinely loved the part. The camera loved her. She is a believable badass instead of these tiny little things that can take out obliging stuntmen.

To me she screamed Star Wars as well. The character is always gonna be an original character to this series and part of S1 and S2, which to me is more Mandalorian (new) than this last season which felt more like an extension of Rebels. IMO her leaving for me will always be a stain on the show. Not having her is a gap in my collection, which for now is S1 and S2 (partly because of rising costs, too, gotta be some limits when I want Andor figs too.). I need Cara and Fennec side by side sharpshooting which is a thing of beauty.

I have the Sideshow Cara thankfully, beautiful piece.

Considering this may retail for what an MIB Black Series Cara can go for (I got the Credit Collection and am repainting her.), a 1/6 figure done well enough could be good. Regardless of what went on off screen, I judged her by what I saw on screen and I do like her character. I'll just have to see how she turns out.

All of the Marvel figs sneak past the mouse so idk why this would be any different.

S39 would be a pretty decent choice. Would just have to figure out how to get the arm tattoo on there. My understanding is that painting silicone is a little different/more challenging than painting plastic. And I’m sure a decal would probably just crack overtime

Ahh yeah, I nearly forgot about the arm tattoos, and as others state, painting seamless bodies can be a challenge.

I’ve tried water slide “tattoos” on the shoulder area of a male TBL figure, and you are correct — the slide cracked due to the stretching of the skin when posing the arm. The only time those things work is on areas that don’t flex as much as the figure is posed — like the thighs — as long as the decal/water slide is small enough. There are numerous tutorials over at the onesixthfigures forum discussing coloring TBLeague bodies, with varying degrees of success, and tattoos have been done with some success using specialty markers as well.

Good to know!

cara dune was a great character. It was a believable female role that I dont think many could play as well as carano. I dont care about the politics I just wish she still played the character.

If you’re going to call her that word, you clearly don’t know what Nazis were well enough to use it responsibly.

Be better than this.

You really live up to your Handle my friend.
The last sentence is pure goodness.

Oh she's the one doing the hatred. But enjoy your Nazi Butch figure.

Dang, that was funny, Felinx.

Johnny Utah is way too cool of a username for that guy to have.

Hoffentlich bekommen sie die Ähnlichkeit gut, dies wäre eine schöne Ergänzung zu einer mandalorianischen Sammlung. Ich dachte, sie wäre ein anständiger Charakter in der Geschichte, sei cool, wenn diese Figur zum Tragen kommt.

This is welcome news!

Thrilled at the prospect of picking this one up. Here's hoping Mars Toys nail the likeness.

To my fellow freaks..
